Copying E-items to items

You can copy E-items individually. You can also copy EBOMs and E-items using MBCs. For more information on MBCs, see the Changing EBOMs - Automatic procedure topic.

How to copy an E-item to an item
What happens when you copy an E-item?

When you copy an E-item, LN caries out the following actions:

  • If the production item does not exist, LN creates it.
  • An already existing relationship between an E-item and an item is updated in the session Engineering Item - Item Relationship (tiedm1101m000). When the item relationship is updated, the E-Item Copied check box is selected, and the E-Item Copy Date field is given the value of the date of copying.
  • LN checks if a valid revision has the status Approved by Production. If it does not, a relationship cannot be established.
Note

The result of copying an E-item to an item depends on the value of the item's Update Engineering Item Relations field in the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) session. You can alter that with the Update Engineering Relationship (tiedm3220m000) session.
